Point

One example of a point could be someone shining a laser pointer on a wall.

Another example of a pointcould be a period at the end of a sentence.

Like this one

Line

A good example of a line is a thread.

Another example of a line would be a snake.

Plane

A desktop is a good example of a plane.

A piece of paper is another plane.

This looks like my

homework!

Line Segment

Something you could use to demonstrate a line segment could be a toothpick.

A sewing needle looks like a line segment too. Hey!

There’s my

sewing needle!

Angle

A mouth is an angle when it is open.

Also, a corner is an angle.

Please don’t eat

me!

Ray

A cord is a ray, with the plug being the endpoint.

A tree branch is a ray, and where the branch touches the trunk is the endpoint.

Where are my acorns!!

?

Circle

The iris of an eye is a circle.

The sun is a circle as well.I see you!Is it

hot or

what?

Midpoint

If I had to explain a midpoint to someone, I would use stepping stones to get the point across.

Another example of a midpoint is a

middle button on a shirt.

MIDPOINT

Network

A spider web is like a network, with each spot the web connects being a node.

An island that connects to the Mainland with bridges is a networkalso, with every spot the bridge connects

being a node.

I’m gonna catch me a fly!

Polygon

A TV is a polygon.

A fridge is also a polygon.

I wonder if I have any chicken in

here?

Shh! My soap is

on!
